inculcate them?
Morals and values are the essences of life. These qualities come along with the journey of our
life. Morals and ethics make our life prosperous and lead us to the right path.

What are Morals?

The moral is the main thing that every student learn right from childhood. Going to a proper
definition' Morals are ethical standards that guide an individual in their behavior and thinking
process.

It helps us to distinguish what is correct or acceptable and what's terrible based on society,
region, religious beliefs, etc. These standards tell the individual how to react or behave in any
kind of situation. In simple words, morals are about manners.

Importance of Morals in society

An individual without morals is judged by society and possess a lousy character. Morals are
required for the development of a person and ultimately, the country.

 Respecting parents and teachers teaches the students to give respect to elders. But do you
think giving respect only to elders is sufficient?
 We should respect everyone irrespective of their caste, age or status. This is important for
students to deal with everyone around.
 Everyone on this world deserves respect. All living beings should be equally respected.
So, we should respect our family, friend, religion, and profession.

Challenges

 Interactions between different cultures and societies challenges the development of moral
values. The interaction weakens the morals of one society through the adaption of another
culture.

 Poverty is another challenge because it can increase robbery in society. In poor economic
status, moral values become unimportant as they have to struggle for survival.

 Education can sometimes challenge moral values. In the new system of education,
students are pressurized to pick immorality due to peer pressure.
